Reception[]

Moria.co gave the film a good review. Watchtower got three stars and the reviewer stated: "Watchtower/Cruel and Unusual offers Mihalka the best budget he has ever had to date and he does wonders with it. There is some particularly beautiful and impressive location scenery – despite being set in Seattle, the film is in actuality shot a little further up the coast in the somberly beautiful area of Vancouver Island, where Mihalka does a fine job of capturing the verisimilitude of a small fishing town."^[3]

Reviewer M. Lion of the website chickflickingreviews.com called it a "well made movie" and noted that the twists were "quite fun".^[4]
